Chapter 5: Becoming a Mercenary
Just as Ghost Knight wielded that rusty sword and tried to cut off my head, Nataya thought I was going to die like this, and almost burst into tears, but in fact I didn't live that short.
I'm still alive, and it's all thanks to the little talkative, but nice inventor Kelvin. At this critical moment, he struck the Ghost Knight with a firearm of his own invention.
The silver bullet that was ejected from the massive impact of the firearm hit the head of the Ghost Rider, and it was not ordinary ammunition, but silver bullets soaked in holy water, extremely effective against the undead and vampires. I heard the bullet whistling in the wind, and then the Ghost Rider's face began to contort, his expression extremely painful and hideous, and finally slowly and reluctantly dissipated into black smoke.
This vicious battle is finally over, and each of us is exhausted. Originally, seven people came out of the base, but in the end, only Frante, Nataya, and I were left. If Kelvin hadn't arrived in time, I'd have lost my life.
"Kelvin, thank you. I smiled weakly at Kelvin
"Well, I saw that you hadn't come back after so long, and I knew something was wrong with you. But you don't have to thank me, just listen to me in the future, Master Kelvin. ”
This blonde boy began to pretend to be relaxed again, in fact, when I saw him pull the trigger just now, his legs trembled with fright.
"Didn't I tell you to open the defensive barrier and leave us alone, what if there are too many of these monsters and rush into the base?" Nataya somehow turned into that cold look, and asked Kelvin who arrived in time.
Kelvin was aggrieved and didn't say a word.
"Thanks to Kelvin, I would have died. I couldn't stand it, so I spoke for my savior
"Shut up, you're not a mercenary of the Demon Hunter Blade mercenary group, and you're not qualified to meddle in our affairs. Besides, you took the initiative to ask me to take you out, didn't you say that you wouldn't be a burden to us?"
Nataya's words hurt and I don't know how she got so fast. I thought she was worried about me, but now it's like nothing happened.
"Frank, find two men to bury these dead brothers. Nataya left us and returned to the base alone, but I could see a hint of rosy in the corners of her eyes. Nataya is such a woman, kind-hearted, but with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, it would be difficult for her to manage a mercenary group for Chimside.
It was just me, Frank, and Kelvin, and the three of us looked at each other.
"Kelvin, you go back first, this meeting is not for you. "Salient is a man who looks mature
Kelvin also returned to the base in a fun way, leaving me and Frante.
"Don't worry about Nataya's words, she's a good woman, but she's a little outspoken, but her intentions are all good. In the past few years that the mercenary group has no leader, she has been the leader of the mercenary group, and it is indeed not easy for a woman. If she doesn't put on a repulsive look, it will be difficult for her to have majesty in the mercenary group. ”
Frank's reassurance was really unnecessary for me, in fact, I wasn't angry with Nataya at all. Because I know that the reason why Nataya blames Kelvin is precisely because she doesn't want the mercenary group in the base to suffer a devastating blow. Moreover, in this battle, our losses were too great, and four people were killed alive, and Nataya may feel more sad than anyone else.
"Larick, you dig four pits for me, and let's bury these brothers. ”
I got a shovel and began digging in the town's public graveyard, and I was willing to do something for the mercenary group of old Heater.
So I finally dug four pits, and it was almost dawn.
"May the glory of Idia shelter this land forever. Watching Frant finish this sentence in a deep voice, I couldn't help but understand what mission I should take on as a mercenary.
"Who is Idia?"
I have not heard old Heated speak of this man, but when he first arrived in the town of Bosip, old Heated said, "May the glory of Aditya shelter this land forever." ”
"Our Demon Hunter Blade Mercenary Regiment exists to pursue the truth that all things dominate Idia, and as for the details, I will tell you about it slowly. ”
Frange took me back to the secret base, and as soon as I got back, I heard that old Heated had woken up, and we immediately rushed to the room where old Heater was.
As soon as I walked through the door, I saw that almost everyone was here. Avina, Kelvin, Ram, and Nataya all stood by Heater's side.
I saw that Heated was still a little weak, but it was fine, and I immediately threw myself at it, and I wanted to cry, but I knew that Heater didn't want me to cry.
"Alright, Larrick, thanks to Mayfair's treatment, I'm fine now. Heather said with a smile
It was then that I noticed that there was a pink-haired elf girl standing next to Heater.
Regarding elves, I have only heard that they mostly inhabit the elven kingdom at the southern tip of the continent, and are divided into high elves and wood elves. The High Elves are mostly magically proficient and good-looking, generally of the ruling class with aristocratic blood. The Wood Elves have a lower status than the High Elves, but the Wood Elves are the best scouting and archery experts on the continent.
Humans talk about the age and appearance of elves, a wood elf has a lifespan of between 500 and 800, and some high elves can live for more than a thousand years. As for appearance, elves have beauty and long ears that humans do not have, and the higher the bloodline, the longer the ears.
Judging from his appearance, the pink-haired elf in front of him should be a high elf, and his age should be almost two hundred years old, which is equivalent to a twenty-year-old girl in human beings.
This elven girl, named Mayfair Wood, specializes in healing magic.
"Commander, I'll work hard. Mayfair spoke like an innocent girl who had not been deeply involved in the world, and there was a shy flush on her face after being praised by Heatherd.
Then old Heather turned to me.
"Larrick, I haven't told you who I am in the past, because I don't want you to take on too much. But now, now that I'm old and my left arm is gone, I want you to take my lead and become a real mercenary, and officially a member of the Demon Hunter Blade mercenary group. ”
Old Heather suddenly became so serious that I was not used to it. I used to travel the world with Heater, and Heather loved me like a father. Now, Heated has asked me to follow his footsteps and join the Demon Hunter Mercenary Regiment as a mercenary, and I'm still a little excited.
"I have one more request. "I suddenly remembered something important
"What request?" said old Cesed as he looked at me
"I want to ......"
